Identities

​
Adding an Identity

You can associate a crosschain identity with a DEMOS address by creating a signature using your private key and sending it to the DEMOS network.
DEMOS network supports linking Web2 identities too (for example, login with Twitter or with Github).See web2 identities
Check out how to create a signature on the “Signing Messages” section of the respective crosschain SDK documentation. eg. EVM

​
0. Imports

import { Demos } from "@kynesyslabs/demosdk/websdk"
import { Identities } from "@kynesyslabs/demosdk/abstraction"
import { InferFromSignaturePayload } from "@kynesyslabs/demosdk/types/abstraction"

​
1. Creating the signature

Connect your wallet to the XM instance and create a signature 
// connect your 
const xmAddress = instance.getAddress()
const message = `Link ${instance.name} address ${address} to Demos`
const signature = await instance.signMessage(message)
The signature will be verified on the network to prevent adding identities not owned by you

​
2. Creating the DEMOS payload

The payload to add a Sepolia address would look like this: 
const payload: InferFromSignaturePayload = {
    method: "identity_assign_from_signature",
    target_identity: {
        chain: "eth",
        chainId: instance.chainId,
        subchain: "sepolia",
        isEVM: true,
        signature: signature,
        signedData: message,
        targetAddress: instance.getAddress(),
    },
}

​
3. Connecting to the network

Create a new Demos object and connnect the RPC and your private key. 
const rpc = "https://demosnode.discus.sh"

// connect to the DEMOS rpc
const demos = new Demos()
await demos.connect(rpc)

// connect private key
await demos.connectWallet(mnemonic)

​
4. Sending the payload

Then send the identity payload to the network using the identities instance as shown: Use identities.inferIdentity to create a transaction that adds your identity to the blockchain. Then broadcast the transaction using demos.broadcast. 
const identities = new Identities()
const validityData = await identities.inferXmIdentity(demos, payload)

const res = await demos.broadcast(validityData)
console.log(res)

// {
//   result: 200,
//   response: { message: 'Signature verified. Transaction applied.' },
//   require_reply: false,
//   extra: { confirmationBlock: 3 }
// }

​
Getting Identities

After the confirmationBlock has been forged, you can retrieve all the identities associated with your DEMOS address as shown: 
const res = await identities.getIdentities(demos)
console.log(res)

// {
//   "result": 200,
//   "response": {
//     "xm": {
//       "evm": {
//         "sepolia": [
//           "0x4298A9D2A573dA64102255d11d6908b7e3d89b02"
//         ]
//       }
//     },
//     "web2": {}
//   },
//   "require_reply": false,
//   "extra": null
// }

​
Removing an Identity

You can remove your crosschain identity from DEMOS as shown: 
const validityData = await identities.removeXmIdentity(demos, {
    chain: "evm",
    subchain: "sepolia",
    targetAddress: instance.getAddress(), // the address to remove
})

const res = await demos.broadcast(validityData)
console.log(res)

// {
//   result: 200,
//   response: { message: 'Transaction applied, waiting for confirmation' },
//   require_reply: false,
//   extra: { confirmationBlock: 25 }
// }
